Taylor Swift – “All You Had To Do Was Stay” Song Lyrics

(Hey, hey, hey) * 4

People like you, always want back, the love they gave away
And people like me, wanna believe you, when you say you’ve changed
The more I think, about it now, the less I know
All I know, is that you drove us, off the road

Stay, hey, all you had to do was, stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then, why’d you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?

Stay, hey, now you say you want it, back
Now that it’s just too late
Well, could’ve been easy
All you had to do was stay

(All you had to do was stay) * 4

Here you are now, calling me up, but I don’t know what to say
I’ve been picking up the pieces, of the mess you made
People like you, always want back, the love they pushed aside
But people like me, are gone forever, when you say goodbye

Stay, hey, all you had to do was, stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then why’d you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?

Stay, hey, now you say you want it, back
Now that it’s just too late
Well, could’ve been easy
(All you had to do was stay) * 3
All you had to do was stay, stay, stay, stay, stay

Let me remind you, this was what you wanted
You ended it, you were all I wanted
But not like this, not like this, not like this…

Oh, all you had to do was
Stay, hey, all you had to do was, stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then why’d you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?

Stay, hey, now you say you want it back
Now that it’s just too late
Well, could’ve been easy
All you had to do was stay

Hey, all you had to do was, stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then why’d you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?

Stay, hey, now you say you want it, back
Now that it’s just too late
Well, could’ve been easy
(All you had to do was stay) * 6
